Trócaire Envelopes:Due to a
printing error, the date on your Trócaire envelopes is incorrect.The Trócaire collection normally takes place
during Easter week; this collection can be paid anytime during Lent.

Thought for the Week:

‘Father, help me to see this holy season of Lent as a time of
spiritual renewal,

rather than a time of deprivation.

Motivate me to reach a new level of experiencing your grace.'(Anon)
